Sugat ng Bayani (a hero's wound)

I had sometime working as an animator before. I actually did some tweening for "One Piece" and a few other TV TOEI anime such as "poor sisters" and "Precure Splash Star," etc. This video is totally my pen so after painting a few Backgrounds and drawing a few hundred cells I spent countless hours putting them all together using my old beat-up pc. I came up with a 10-minute video all in all and this is just a fragment.

It was in 1997 when I wrote and drew the first pages of the comicbook of the same title and it, up to this point just as the animation, remains unpublished. I had approached the 2 largest TV networks in the Philippines regarding this but they broke my heart!

It's free to dream but it appears like our dream gave us more pain than necessary. I've heard that we had the right dream but the Philippines is not the right place to cater to such ambitions. What a horrible insight but so far, it remains true for us as we are still holding on.

Listen to a great singer


I'm beginning to feel like I'm gonna love this blog stuff a lot! Have you heard of Hayley Westenra? This girl has a heavenly voice! I was hooked the first time I heard her sing!
I know this post is definitely odd for my blog but I think that as long as artists are seekers of inspiration then I'd like to share this particular inspiration that burns in my breast everytime I hear her! It makes me feel like I can become a better artist and a better person especially when I listen to her song: "Heaven."
Check her out!!!

Poor Artists cant PUBLISH Comicbooks


You're looking at the covers of our comicbooks entitled "the Curfew" and "Armageddon." Dominic and I have been working on our comics since 1993 but we were so poor we couldnt afford the publishing cost and getting a sponsor is also next to impossible as the medium is being undervalued where we lived. We already had atleast 400 pages of story and art. We wish to get published soon with a lot of help, of course. Any recommendation guys?
